If you have watercolor supplies, please let me know. We can probably use what you have. You can partner with another student to share supplies like paint, etc., if you aren’t 100% sure you will continue with this medium.

I use Cheap Joe’s for my supplies, but other suppliers are Jerry’s Artarama, Dick Blick, etc. Of course, they won’t have the Cheap Joe’s brands. Let’s talk if you have a question.
